Les Misérables: Behind the scenes in pictures

The wedding Amanda Seyfried as the adult Cosette and Eddie Redmayne as
Marius at their wedding. This was filmed at Boughton House, the Duke of
Buccleuch’s estate in Northamptonshire. It has never been used for a
feature film location before, but was chosen for a significant reason: it is built
in the French style, and has been nicknamed 'the English Versailles’. 'It
was an extraordinary place,’ Redmayne recalls. 'We shot mostly in Britain, but
on that day it felt like we really were in France.’ In one scene, the cameras
linger on the facade of what looks like a giant Parisian building. That’s
Boughton. Eric Fellner explains, 'In an ideal world we’d have filmed partly
in France, and this film would have cost $150 million. [The film’s budget
has been estimated at £40 million.] We try to make films look five times
the size of their budgets by inventive and creative production.’
